Question

So what would be the answer to y=5/x-3 when you Identify the excluded value for the rational function.

Answer 1

You can't divide by zero

Answer 2

So the denominator x-3 cannot be zero

If it were, then

x-3 = 0

Answer 3

Solve that for x to find your excluded value

Answer 4

3?

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

if x = 3, then x-3 becomes 0

Answer 7

so we must exclude x = 3 to avoid dividing by zero

Answer 8

So the answer is 3 to the whole question

Answer 9

If your equation is \[y = 5/(x-3)\]
then the excluded value is 3. If it is\[y=(5/x) -3\]
The excluded value is zero

Answer 10

ok thank you so much!

Answer 11

Remember your brackets!!! ;)
